When you're staring down a mile-long to-do list and feeling frozen, you're not alone. In this episode, I’m diving into what happens when ADHD overwhelm, executive dysfunction, and unrealistic expectations collide and what to do about it. You’ll learn how to break free from the spiral of paralysis, avoidance, and guilt, and start making progress in a way that feels doable.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why finishing your entire to-do list isn’t the goal (and what to focus on instead)
  • How to shift your self-talk to stop blaming yourself for ADHD and executive dysfunction
  • Practical tools to manage ADHD overwhelm and ADHD paralysis
  • How to break big tasks down into realistic, actionable steps
